Why insurance is required to enter Ukraine
A condition of entry, not a recommendation
Every foreign visitor to Ukraine must hold an insurance policy with war-risk cover for the entire stay. This applies to all three entry routes: visa-free, the e-Visa and the consular visa — the policy is both filed with the visa application and may be checked at the border.
Why an ordinary travel policy does not qualify
Standard travel policies almost always carry an exclusion for events connected with hostilities. In a country where that risk is real, a policy without the right cover means the medical costs in the scenario that matters most stay with you. That is why the requirement concerns policies that explicitly include war risks — what that cover includes, we break down separately.
What the policy must contain
Three things: war-risk cover, validity on the territory of Ukraine, and a term covering the entire stay — from the day of entry to the day of exit. A policy for part of the trip does not meet the requirement.
The regulatory frame
The policies sold through this site are issued by an insurer licensed by the National Bank of Ukraine for class 18 — traveller assistance insurance. War-risk cover is a separate element of the specific policy's terms, explicitly included in it. Sales are made by the agent Welcome Ukraine (USREOU 44559356). The cost depends on the term and options; the exact price is calculated on the checkout page.
